John 5
1 Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Oluvannyuma Yesu n’addayo e Yerusaalemi abeewo ku emu ku mbaga z’Abayudaaya.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
Munda mu Yerusaalemi, okumpi n’Omulyango gw’Endiga waliwo ekidiba ekiyitibwa Besusayida, mu Lwebbulaniya, ekyazimbibwako ebigango bitaano okukyetooloola.
3 On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
Mu bigango ebyo mwagalamirangamu abalwadde bangi nnyo: abalema, abazibe b’amaaso, n’abakoozimbye.
Kubanga bwe waayitangawo ekiseera malayika wa Mukama n’ajja n’atabula amazzi ago, era omuntu eyasookanga okukka mu kidiba ng’amazzi gaakatabulwa, ng’awonyezebwa.
5 One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
Waaliwo omusajja eyali yaakalwalira emyaka amakumi asatu mu munaana.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
Yesu bwe yamulaba n’amanya nga bw’amaze ebbanga eddene nga mulwadde, n’amubuuza nti, “Oyagala okuwonyezebwa?”
7 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
Omusajja omulwadde n’amuddamu nti, “Ssebo sirina muntu ayinza kunnyamba okunsuula mu kidiba ng’amazzi gaakatabulwa. Buli lwe ngezaako okukkamu we ntukirayo ng’omulala yansoose dda.”
8 Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Situka ozingeko omukeeka gwo otambule.”
9 Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
Amangwago omusajja n’awonyezebwa. N’azingako omukeeka gwe ne yeetambulira. Olunaku olwo lwali lwa Ssabbiiti.
10 so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
Abayudaaya kyebaava bagamba omusajja awonyezebbwa nti, “Toteekwa kwetikka mukeeka gwo ku Ssabbiiti, oba omenye etteeka lya Ssabbiiti.”
11 But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
Ye n’addamu nti, “Omuntu amponyezza y’aŋŋambye nti, ‘Situlawo omukeeka gwo otambule.’”
12 “Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Omuntu oyo ye ani eyakugambye okusitula omukeeka gwo otambule?”
13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
Kyokka omusajja eyawonyezebwa yali tamumanyi, kubanga Yesu yali abulidde mu bantu abangi abaali mu kifo ekyo.
14 Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Yesu n’amulaba mu Yeekaalu, n’amugamba nti, “Kaakano oli mulamu, naye toddangamu okwonoona, akabi akasingawo kaleme okukutuukako.”
15 And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
Omuntu oyo n’agenda n’ategeeza Abayudaaya nti Yesu ye yamuwonya.
16 Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
Okuva olwo Abayudaaya ne batandika okuyigganya Yesu, kubanga yakolanga ebintu ebifaanana ng’ekyo ku Ssabbiiti.
17 But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Kitange bulijjo akola, nange nteekwa okukola.”
18 Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Abayudaaya kyebaava beeyongera okusala amagezi okumutta, kubanga teyakoma ku kya kumenya mateeka ga Ssabbiiti kyokka, naye yeeyita Omwana wa Katonda, ne yeefuula eyenkanaankana ne Katonda.
19 So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Omwana taliiko ky’akola ku bubwe, wabula ekyo ky’alaba Kitaawe ng’akola. Kubanga ye by’akola n’Omwana by’akola.
20 The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
Kubanga Kitaawe w’Omwana ayagala Omwana we era amulaga ky’akola, era Omwana ajja kukola ebyamagero bingi ebyewuunyisa okusinga na bino.
21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
Kubanga nga Kitaawe w’Omwana bw’azuukiza abafu, bw’atyo n’Omwana awa obulamu abo baayagala.
22 Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
Era Kitaawe w’Omwana talina n’omu gw’asalira musango, naye obuyinza obw’okusala emisango gyonna yabuwa Omwana we,
23 so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
abantu bonna balyoke bassengamu Omwana ekitiibwa nga bwe bassa mu Kitaawe ekitiibwa. Atassaamu Mwana kitiibwa, ne Kitaawe eyamutuma tamussaamu kitiibwa.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
“Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Awulira ebigambo byange, n’akkiriza eyantuma, aba n’obulamu obutaggwaawo, era talisingibwa musango, kubanga aliba avudde mu kuzikirira ng’atuuse mu bulamu. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, Ekiseera kijja, era kituuse, abafu lwe baliwulira eddoboozi ly’Omwana wa Katonda, era n’abaliwulira baliba balamu.
26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
Kubanga nga Kitaawe w’Omwana bw’alina obulamu mu ye, bw’atyo bwe yawa Omwana okuba n’obulamu mu ye,
27 And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
era yamuwa obuyinza okusalira abantu emisango, kubanga ye Mwana w’Omuntu.
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
“Ekyo tekibeewuunyisa, kubanga ekiseera kijja abafu abali mu ntaana lwe baliwulira eddoboozi lye
29 and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
ne bavaamu kubanga be baakola ebintu ebirungi, era balifuna obulamu obutaggwaawo, naye abo abaakolanga ebibi balizuukira ne babonerezebwa.
30 I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Kyokka Nze siyinza kukola kintu kyonna ku bwange. Kitange nga bw’aŋŋamba bwe nkola, era n’omusango gwe nsala gwa nsonga kubanga sinoonya bye njagala nze, wabula eyantuma by’ayagala.
31 If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
Singa nneeyogerako nzekka, bye nneyogerako tebiba bya mazima.
32 There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
Waliwo ategeeza gwe ndi, era mmanyi nga bya njogerako bya mazima.
33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
“Mmwe mwatuma ababaka eri Yokaana, era ayogedde eby’amazima.
34 Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
Ebigambo ebinkakasa tebiva mu muntu, naye ebyo mbyogera mulyoke mulokolebwe.
35 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
Oyo ye yali ettaala eyayaka okubaleetera ekitangaala, ne musalawo mubeere mu kitangaala ekyo akaseera katono.
36 But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
“Naye nnina ebinkakasa okukira ebyo ebya Yokaana, bye byamagero bye nkola, Kitange bye yampa, era bikakasa nti Kitange ye yantuma
37 And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
ne Kitange yennyini eyantuma akakasa ebinkwatako. Temuwuliranga ku ddoboozi lye wadde okulaba ekifaananyi kye.
38 nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
N’ekigambo kye tekiri mu mmwe, kubanga temukkiriza oyo gwe yatuma.
39 You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, (aiōnios g166)
Munoonya mu Byawandiikibwa kubanga mulowooza nti muyinza okubifuniramu obulamu obutaggwaawo. Kyokka Ebyawandiikibwa ebyo bye binjulira. (aiōnios g166)
40 yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
Naye temwagala kujja gye ndi mulyoke mufune obulamu obutaggwaawo.
41 I do not accept glory from men,
“Sinoonya kusiimibwa bantu.
42 but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
Naye mmwe mbamanyi temuliimu kwagala kwa Katonda.
43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
Nzize mu linnya lya Kitange ne mutannyaniriza. Omulala bw’anajja ku bubwe oyo mujja kumwaniriza.
44 How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
Kale muyinza mutya okukkiriza nga munoonya kusiimibwa bantu bannammwe, so nga temunoonya kusiimibwa Katonda oyo Omu yekka?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
“Naye temulowooza nti ndibawawaabira eri Kitange. Abawawaabira ye Musa, mmwe gwe mulinamu essuubi.
46 If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
Singa Musa mumukkiriza, nange mwandinzikirizza, kubanga yampandiikako.
47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
Kale obanga temukkiriza bye yawandiika, munakkiriza mutya ebigambo byange?”
